Started around 10 am and -10. Wanted to catch as much cold snow as possible. I hope Mike posts also because I was "done" after that arduous 15 kms loop, and he likely did the entire Moose Loop also! It was my second time doing it ever and noting the Sunday grooming (T-Y Groomers), I decided late last night to "jump" on it. After 3 fat bikes and one dog passed me early on; I saw no one for the majority of this "backcountry" loop until I came out to the Old Shell Road, where I could have passed out on the picnic table had it not been occupied. Definitely the right way to tackle this loop and only took off my skis once to walk down one steep hill. The West side track is nice to arrive at, although still alot of ups and downs. I remember Skier Bob first peaking my interest in skiing this loop, but at 75+, it could be my last time.
